Physician, PA & NP recruiting in Green Bay, grounded in the metro's real numbers.

Physician assistants
Over the last 12 months, the Green Bay metro added 29 newly enrolled nurse practitioners, 3 physicians, and 4 physician assistants to the registry. New NP enrollments outpaced new physicians: the advanced-practice workforce is growing faster than the physician base, and hiring plans that ignore that mix are competing for the scarcer pool.
